Whats messed up is if a heterosexual goes to the psychiatrist and says he wants to be treated for being too sexual the psychologist will do whatever it takes. If a homosexual goes to a psychologist and says he doesn’t want to be homosexual the psychologist can not at all attempt to convert him as the APA believes it will do more harm than good.

Not exactly. A sex addict of any sexual orientation should be able to get treatment from a mainstream psychiatrist (I assume that’s what you mean by a heterosexual wanting treatment for being “too sexual”). However, if the heterosexual expressed a desire to change his/her sexual orientation to homosexual, he/she would be told, truthfully, that that’s impossible. Treating sex addiction and changing sexual orientation are tow different things.
